大沼糰子 / Onuma Dango

Onuma Dango is a local specialty of Onuma Quasi-National Park, which is located in the southern part of Hokkaido. Onuma literally means 'big marsh', and the park consists of three big marshes. One is Onuma (big marsh), and the others are Konuma (small marsh) and Junsainuma (junsai refers to an edible water plant). Dango are bite size mochi (rice cakes). Onuma Dango is made of many pieces of mochi, which are soaked in sweet soy based sauce or either red bean or sesame pastes. Eating them straight after purchase is ideal, as they only have a shelf life of one day.
